Abstract
This paper describes a recommender system designed to help the user make enhanced life choices and prevent ill health. The system utilises sensors and user interactions, including physiological data, activity monitoring and dietary information. Based on these data the system establishes user needs and provides lifestyle and nutritional advice to the user. To cement behavioural change the system utilises a feedback loop and allows the user to track his progress over time. The system is now in an early prototyping phase and has two main goals: 1) to improve the quality of life for users and 2) to prevent future health problems.
